Messrs- Editors Unfortunately, every
now and then, we meet with 9 person at-
fiicted with the impression that upon ~
shoulders rests the eAtire responsibility Of
reforming the world. Such seems to be
the disease that the morbid individual is
suffering with whose fanaiical outburst on
the subject Of fox-hunters appeared in the
ERtsEprise, Of the 12 instant With q ma
licsousness and utter disregard for truth Pc
culiar 10 such diseaaed natures, he alleges
that fences have been destroyed, growing
crops ruined and farms "laid waste" and
to cap the climax, he il unable TO sleep on
account Of the DereizSss fox-hunter. Well,
II is too bad After the prisons Of this
modern SAINT have been waited upward on
the wings Of Angels and he has been gently
wooed into the embrace of Morpheus, felic-
itating himself ike the Pharisee, upon
the fact that he is different from other men,
repeat that il Is too bad that he should be
aroused by the horn of the vandal hunter
and "harried" for the remainder of the
night Fellow-hunters, we can hesitate
no longer, the sport must be abandoned.
Messrs. Editors. we admit that farmers
are sometimes. Inconvenience to some
slight extent by fox-hunters occasionally
pulling down fence, (hardly destroying itl
but as TO wheat fields being trampled up
and the wholesale destruction and devasta-
ton of property that the anonymous CORES
pendent, above referred TO, speaks Of, il is
simply ridiculous and hardly deserves no
tice. We have hunted on the lands OF
many different persons, and this is the first
complaint that has been made. On the
contrary, many farmers who do not keep
hounds are much annoyed by foxes killing
their young pigs, lambs, poultry, etc and
on this account are glad to see the hunters
around. Among these can be mentioned
an honored Judge of the Orphans Court,
who said he would be glad to have them
come and stay week, he having lost as
many as II young pigs, 10 say nothing OF
chickens and turkeys, &c. The point
made as 10 our being trespassers in every
case, because we did not go 10 each man on
whose lands we hunted and get his consent
in words is suggestive of an embryonic lac
ger and 10 farmer seems untenable. There
is such u thing as implied consent and in
my section where friendly feeling exists
between neighbors. hunting with both dog
and gun is general and when any one
wishes to prevent it on his place, he posts
"rreSpass Notice" and that ends It.
In conclusion, will say that if we have
offended or injured any one by crossing
their place we are very sorry for it, and il
We learn OF anything of the kind, we will
be only too glad to apologize and make
! proper rcparation. FoKHUSTER.

1t is rather early 10 predict anything po-
htcally, but if the people of Maryland
think the Democracy of the North desires
the re election OF President Cleveland, they
are vastly mistaken. Not only has he dis
gusted the people with his administration
at Washington, but also at the public build
ings here In the case of Mr.. Magone,
President Cleveland no doubt exacted from
that gentleman that in the event Of his ap-
pointment as Collector of this port, he
should carry out the policy of the admin
istration in the discharge of the duties Of
his Office. Certainly after adhering 50 mi
nutely to the reforms of Civil Service, Mr.
Cleveland and his Mugwump allies of the
Senate, could do nothing better than con-

The beginning Of Lent in this city re
minds one o: dress worn at . masquerade
bali not loSg ago Of which one side was
Marchioness' costume Of the eighteenth
century with powder patches, harp and
diamonds, and on the other the sOmbre,
heavy garb Of cloistered nun. The last
days Of the gay season have been almost
evenly divided after the same fashion, balls.
dinners, receptions, card parties and every
form Of social entertainment, followed by
the most complete stagnation and mani
fest enjoyment of repose after brilliant
season OF gay life. Gayeties closed with
cottilion at Delmonico's and ball given
by the Elks at Irving Hall, both OF which
were elaborate affairs and greatly enjoyed
by all who attended. At the costillion the
Hungarian band played its widest, weird
est music and kept feet flying and heads
nodding in sympathetic unison from the
beginning TO the end of the evening. That
no one proposes to be buried out Of sight
during Lent is clearly indicated, however,
in long list of readings, lectures, concerts,
luncheons, dinners, card and theatre par
ties that have been planned and promised
for the next six weeks. Organ and piano
recitals, oratorios and symphonies, lectures
by Prof Boyeson on the poets. novelties
and antiquities at the theatres, mind read
ing, palm reading and horse training will
all do their part towards making the days
draw their length less YEARLY along until
the Easter sun with its accompaniment of
Spring costumes and coaching and evening
pleasures rises upon the society world once
more. Among the social reunions at gentle
mems houseswhich are considered especially
suitable for the season ofpenitence, possibly
on account Of the weeping and crashing of
teeth by which they are often followed, are
poker and whist parties. There are clubs
composed OF ladies' ana gentlemen VINO
meet several times a week, at each others
houses, and where the play is 80 high that
the stakes would startle many veteran
club man. Women who have had expe-
rience and practice are often better card
players than men, and an Englishman who
was present at one of these poker parties
not long since watched with the deepest in
terest and establishment the play ofa prom
inent society lady, who b!uffed her adver-
sary out If large sum of money with a
